I had called ahead to make reservations for 2 for a Thursday evening but when we showed up at the restaurant, there was a sign for patrons to seat themselves and no host/hostess in sight. We sat down and a waitress quickly came over to take drink orders. (I explained we had reservations just so they didn’t think we bailed on them.) I hadn’t been to this restaurant in many years and it looked different than I remembered but the atmosphere was warm and casual. The menu was extensive and we found the sheet of folded paper containing the specials on our own – the waitress never mentioned it. We ordered the salmon cakes appetizer for starters and then I ordered a special of sirloin tips with noodles that sounded good on this rainy evening. My friend ordered the shrimp skewers with risoto. I’m not a fan of crab cakes so I wasn’t going to even try the salmon cakes but I’m glad I did. They were delicious and tasty with a slight crunch from the panko. The cakes were accompanied by a small container of creamy dill sauce which had just the right amount of dill as to not overpower the cakes. My friend devoured his shrimp and had a few bites of the risotto. He wasn’t expecting a tomato risotto but he still took the leftovers home for later. I have to be honest that when the waitress set my dish of sirloin tips and noodles down on the table, it reminded me of a dog bowl with food in it. Heck, it even sort of looked like dog food. However, one bite of this dish made me fall in love and shamefully regret the aforementioned comparison. The gravy was a perfect consistency and the beef was fall apart tender. The noodles were also cooked perfectly – not too hard and not too mushy. There was also plenty to take home for lunch the next day. The restaurant wasn’t as I’d remembered it so long ago but I had a new found infatuation for it, and will return again soon!

The drinks were well-made, with their signature cocktails standing out for their creativity and flavor. I had the mojito, and it was refreshing, with just the right balance of mint and lime. The atmosphere was lively, with a casual vibe that made it a great spot to hang out with friends. The service was friendly, though a little slow at times. The food was decent, but nothing extraordinary.

I really enjoyed my visit here today. The service was great. The food was fresh. I loved the new England clam chowder. I will definitely be back.

We found the place through a Google search and discovered that this is a well-known place in Syracuse with a great reputation. Our food was worth the cost. It was delicious. Chicken quesadillas, Nashville Honey Hot sandwich and Philly Cheese Steak. It was very close to the hotel area in Liverpool (8 min away). Service was quick. We went on Wednesday 5:30pm. No issues getting a table. This was a hit. Side fries wholly unnecessary, fyi. The restaurant is family friendly with separate areas for bar. The place was fully booked around 6pm, which shows how popular it is with folks of all ages. Bar is open late and seems like the patio area is quite popular at night.

The atmosphere is very friendly. The wait staff is very efficient and accommodating. I go quite offen for the Tommy O’Brian strawberry blue salad. But every now and then, I’ll have the waitress “surprise me”, with anything off the menu. I have never been disappointed. Keep up the good work. I’ll be back for more

It was great. Good food. A little confused about seating and the waitress / hostess was annoyed. It was awkward who was seating people. My wife’s steak was kinda thin, so it was not rare. It was good. We’ll be be back. Damn good onion rings. Solid good prices. Pepsi? Not a fan. Truth telling is its a great place.

The place was very nice and the dining area outside was light up very nicely during the summer evening. My server was quick to take my order even though it seemed to be very busy. My food came out in good timing and hot. My favorite there is always the onion soup. Their sweet potato fries have a great crunch with a soft inner tenderness, which I love. The bar area outside servers and attendees were very nice with smiles and made me feel welcome. I definitely recommend this place for a good meal and if you want to meet new friends or ones you already have.

To be completely honest I’ll eat here cause of the outside atmosphere. The service was garbage. We wanted an outside table the said there was none n seated us near the door to the outside were everyone goes in and out mind u I have 3 kids n one of them is in highchair. Nobody got us the high chair we got it ourselves and they were stuck together finally we are all seated and they said a table opened up outside but if it rains you’ll get wet. So we took the outside table anyway. The waiter looks at us n says ok grab everything n ill meet u out there. So with our hands full of kids we had to get our drinks, silverware and napkins n the high chair all our selfs n carry it to the table. Yeah not fun. We got our food it looked very pretty but in reality it was nothing special pretty bland to us. Honestly eating there was a disaster. Shocked on how poor the service was and like I said food looked great for pics but wasn’t worth the money we payed for it.

The Retreat is a local bar and restaurant that has been a fixture in Syracuse. My mother always gets the fish and chips, but there are many other worthy items on the menu. The sandwiches here are good and loaded. Very tasty and the fries are very crispy. Definitely a good place to grab a meal especially lunch. Good beer selection also. Always enjoy a stop at The Retreat.

Awesome place to stop and have a few drinks and food especially on the patio. Service can be hit or miss especially when it is super busy. Be understanding and be nice to your server. They are trying their best with the current circumstances.
